The most common job interview question of all time.

這是工作面試中最常見的面試問題。

Usually the thing that they ask you first as an icebreaker when you first sit down at your job interview.

通常這是當你第一次去參加工作面試時，他們用來破冰所問的問題。

Now there are a million ways to answer this open-ended question and there's also about a million Youtube videos out there giving you various ways to answer it.

這個開放式問題有一百萬種方法可以回答，而且還有大約一百萬個 Youtube 影片告訴你各種回答方法。

But today, I'm going to go give you the quickest, simplest, best way I've seen to answer this question.

但今天，我要教你我見過最快速、最簡單、最棒的方式來回答這個問題。

Okay, let's look at this thing from the other side of the fence.

讓我們從另一個角度來看這件事。

Let's look at it from the perspective of the recruiter or hiring manager.

讓我們從招聘人員或招聘經理的角度來看。

Usually when you post the position, you get a lot of responses and you may well end up with, especially these days, with over 100 candidates applying for the position.

通常當你刊登該職缺時，會收到很多回覆，並且很可能會收到超過 100 位求職者應徵該職位，尤其是在這幾年。

所以對你來說，這是一場淘汰賽。

Your job is to go from 100 applications down to one candidate that you select.

你的工作就是要從 100 個應徵中篩選出一名求職者。

Now from the perspective of the job seeker who's being interviewed, you don't know the criteria they used to eliminate people.

現在換站在面試的求職者的角度，你不知道他們淘汰人的標準是什麼。

Oh, sure there's posted requirements for the position, but the problem is, more than one person may meet all posted requirements.

當然，這個職缺確實有放上要求，但問題是，可能不止一個人可以滿足所有要求。

So there's often a hidden criteria that they don't tell you of what will get you eliminated or hired.

所以通常有一個隱藏的標準，他們不會告訴你什麼會讓你被淘汰或被錄用。

For example, something I've seen in the past is a hiring manager who's a fan of a particular sports team and if you happen to volunteer that you're a fan of the opposing sports team,

例如，我在過去看到的情況是，有個招聘經理，他是某支球隊的粉絲，如果你碰巧主動說出你支持另一支球隊，

that may be grounds to eliminate you on the fact that you might not be a good "fit", and this does happen.

你可能會被淘汰，因為在他眼中你不是「適合」的人選，這情況確實會發生。

Now we're going to make one assumption here and that is that they've actually read your resume.

我們要做一個假設，那就是他們已經看過你的簡歷了。

If you apply for a position and you send in your resume and then they later receive it and then call you in for an interview, usually that means that they've read your resume.

如果你應徵一個職位並寄了你的簡歷，他們收到後打電話邀請你前去面試，通常這表示他們已經看過你的簡歷了。

Not always, I have seen cases where that hasn't actually occurred, but in the vast majority of cases, we can assume this to be true.

並不一定都是，我遇過他們根本沒有看的案例，但在絕大多數情況下，我們可以假設他們看過了。

So what does this mean? This means that the content on your resume is safe.

那麼這表示什麼？這代表你的履歷上的內容是安全的。

Everything you've written on there did not result in you getting eliminated.

你在上面寫的所有內容並沒有導致你被淘汰。

So it's safe content to use and we're gonna be coming back to that.

所以上面的內容是可以放心利用的，等等我們會再回來討論這個問題。

Now when you get asked, "tell me about yourself" in a job interview, this is what you do.

當你在工作面試中被問及「請介紹你自己」的問題，你要這樣回答：

Sart off by saying, "Well, as you can see from my resume," That's the first thing you say.

你要先說：「如同你在我的簡歷上看到的一樣，」

Then go down your resume in chronological order, starting with the oldest material and then getting closer to the present and finally talking about your most recent experience.

然後按照時間順序描述你的簡歷，從最之前的開始，然後越來越接近現在，最後再談談你最近的經歷。

This should take about 45 seconds, no more than a minute.

這應該需要大約 45 秒，不要超過一分鐘。

Then end with the phrase, "And that's what brings me here today and why I'm excited to learn more about this opportunity."

然後用「這就是我今天來到這裡，也是我很高興能更多地了解這個工作機會的原因。」結束這段話。

You see, your purpose in a job interview is to communicate to the person interviewing you, how you're the person for the job, how you meet all the qualifications.

你在求職面試中的目的是與面試官交流，透露你為何能勝任這份工作、你有哪裡達到要求。

You don't want to waste your time talking about something you did 15 years ago that has absolutely nothing to do with this position, and it's just taking up time.

你不想浪費時間談論你 15 年前做跟這個職位完全無關的事情，這只會佔用時間。

That's why you want to summarize your resume in 45 seconds to a minute. No more than that, really.

這就是為什麼你需要在 45 秒到 1 分鐘內總結你的簡歷。不要花更多時間，真的。

See, it's a well known fact that people absorb and retain only a small proportion of what they hear.

眾所周知，人們只會吸收和保留所聽到內容的一小部分。

It's like a very small percentage of what you hear that you actually understand and retain and can recall Later.

你聽到的內容中只有很小一部分是你真正能夠理解並記住的，且可以在之後回憶起來的。

So that's why you want to mention more than once how you meet all the qualifications. You want to make sure it registers.

所以這就是為什麼你要不止一次地提到你符合所有條件。你要確保這件事有被對方記住。

So when you get the question "Tell me about yourself",

所以當你被問到「請介紹一下你自己」這個問題時，

all you have to do is say, "Well, as you can see from my resume," and then you summarize your resume in about 45 seconds to a minute.

你所做的就是：「正如你在我的簡歷中看到的那樣，」然後在大約 45 秒到 1 分鐘內總結你的簡歷。

Maybe start with your education, start with your oldest experience and then come up chronologically to the present where you end with your most recent experience.

也許從你接受的教育開始，從你最以前的經歷開始，然後按時間順序來到現在，以你最近的經歷結束自我介紹。

And then you end with the phrase "...and that's what brings me here today, and why I'm excited to learn more about this opportunity."

然後你用「......這就是今天我來到這裡的原因，以及為什麼我很高興能更多地了解這個工作機會」作為結尾。

So you want to spend as much time as possible talking about this opportunity, not stuff you've done in the past.

所以你想盡可能地花更多的時間談論這個工作機會，而不是你過去做過的事情。

That's why it's very important to try and steer the conversation from something you've done years ago to get them to talk about this position so you can explain how you meet the requirements.

這就是為什麼試著從你多年前做過的事情來引導談話讓他們談論這個職位是非常重要的，這樣你就可以說明你哪裡符合要求的。

So this is actually part of a new YouTube series I'm doing, I'm going to go through all the common job interview questions and we're gonna talk about the hiring process in general.

這其實是我正在做的新 YouTube 系列的其中一支影片，我會介紹所有常見的求職面試問題，還有我們討論一般的招聘流程。

I actually teach this at a post graduate level and I've been on both sides of it, hiring and being hired.

我有在教研究生這門課程，而且我一直參與其中，不管是當招聘和被聘用的角色。

So hopefully that will be useful for you.
